- Build a hard plastic (sintra) set of Iron Man armor (I've done two foam suits so time for something more durable)

Update to this list... Certain projects have hit the back burner while I move to a new place and work out of my machine shop on a commission. While some other projects were completed or temporarily stopped due to new-found space restrictions. Fun times.

Let's see... in no particular order...

Complete current 1/144 AoS Bus & complete 2 more 1/144's. **waiting on 4 C-17 kits & working on the base for my 1/144 model.
Complete Ep 7 Stormtrooper helmet **in holding pattern.
Complete Vacuum former **in holding pattern.
Complete CNC 80watt laser **in holding pattern. waiting on the rest of the parts
Complete Iron Man mk39 suit **in holding pattern.
Complete production run on AoS - Captain America WS - INSIGHT SHIELD Server Targeting Blades **Production run to start very soon
Start build of TWO Victory II Class Star Destroyer... 48" length **in holding pattern.
Complete some of the model airplanes I have sitting around **in holding pattern.
Complete my wooden ships... ok, maybe just one of them... **in holding pattern.
Possibly take on a commission or two. **took on a few commissions already, one of which is making various parts for Fender-style guitars

Somewhere in all this, I plan on going to the beach starting in May. Most of you would consider me insane knowing that last summer, although I live in Greece not far from the beach, I didn't go once. So yea, this time around, I'm working it into my work schedule...

As I am suffering from a minur builders block (is that even a word?) I might even put down a list to motivate myself to get back into the game:

- Finish that terrible Boba Fett thing that was only half finished at the premiere and looked like a store bought 35€ costume... Meh... (This let down is the reason for my block ^^)

- Power armor frame (like so many of us F4 guys I want with all the working bits and pieces and opening mechanism and whatever, but since the huge potential of lacking skills and time (as I said, I didn't even manage to build a decent Boba... :behave) I don't dare to create a thread for it until I can show some major progress)

- If I ever manage to finish the power armor frame I will start making exchangable shells for it, beginning with the T60.

- Replacing my foam Iron Man Mk3 with fibreglas suit parts one by one

- Updating my HEV suit

- Prince Hans modular costume - trying to get into "proper" sewing I want to try my hands on his suit or actually both his suits (the blue/purple/white one as well as the white/golden one) with interchangable parts (pauldrons etc.). Will need help from my partner, but the potential of learning is amazing ;)

- Several small projects I never finished: Pip-Boy Mk 3000 (F3), Repaint of F4 Pip-Boy, Cyberman Helmet, Fallout 3 10mm Pistol

Yeah, well, I hope to tackle at least some of these, right now I am working on the Power Armor Frame (reworking pep files to foam, already did some tests for inner skeleton etc...) Let's see what I get done in 2016! :)

BTW, cool projects you guys got there, looking forward to see those projects coming to life! :)
 
My to do list for 2016:

1. Finish repaint Star Wars EP 7 Nerf Stormtrooper blaster pistol
2. Repaint Star Wars EP 7 Nerf Stormtrooper blaster
3. Build/Finish Doopydoo's E-11 Blaster (Full Kit)
4. Finish (start over, due to not measuring my head correctly) Boba Fett Helmet, (maybe make the whole costume)
 
Make one of these hopefully:

And also distress most of my Indiana Jones costume by some adventuring in south east Asia :D (jungles for the win)
Probably buy another Indy jacket :unsure hmmm
